Royce Sutherland replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"The smaller chassis rails work better for lighter karters as the kart will flex and work as it was intended to. This isn't to say that thicker chassis can't work for lighter classes, they just tend to be a lot harder to set-up to be…"
David Arnold replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"The RL are an ok engine and are better than the fireball or cheater engines but they need rebuild at about 7-10 hours top end and 15-20 hours bottom end. I ran one for 35+ hours before it failed so thay are ok.
The X30 is a far better engine thou,…"
Gaven Whitmore replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"Hey Matthew,
Re chassis sizes, 28/30 is more for use in National class (Yamaha J) or Clubman light class (Yamaha S), you will need a 30mm or 32mm chassis, Bmax are a 32mm chassis you will find it rather stiff for a light person but as Bmax are…"
Sabrina Luciani replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"Yes you are correct, the X30 is more smoother and reliable but it is not a new version of the RL. The X30 is a totally different engine... http://www.remoracing.com.au/products/engines/iame-parilla-leopard-x30

Matthew Spinazze replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"haha thanks mate ill steer clear :)"
kristian harris replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"The earlier version of the leopard. The X30 is the newest version. Much smoother and more reliable motor. just like Anthony said DO NOT buy an RL.

Matthew Spinazze replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"i may sound really dumb here but whats RL stand for haha sorry
Yep plan to hit up eastern creek up very soon :)"
Anthony Burke replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"Hi Matt, as far as chassis is concerned, the later the better (generally speaking) given that newer chassis tend to have done less work (chassis DO fatigue eventually).
Engine will come down to personal preference.
It's…"
Matthew Spinazze replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"haha no worries guys learning different things :P
So what are the characteristics of the two engines? I heard the X30 is more drive able and you can be smoother where as the rotax you need to keep it revving?
Also the chassis tube size,…"
David Arnold replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"I could not agree more. At our track, there is no clear advantage to any engine (except maybe the cheater) From one week to the next different engines are topping the lap times. Old Rotax's new Rotax's, RL's, X30's and a cheater…"
Michael Hazelton replied to Matthew Spinazze's discussion Newbie Questions :)"EDIT: why change TAG R by weight, conduct a national parity test and adjust the restrictor.
